This is the story of Anders, who has recently died, and Lily, who has to balance her grief and confusion with a brother who isn't quite gone. Of course Anders wasn't lonely in the afterlife. He still, like always, had Lily. Lily doesn't believe in making wishes. Not anymore. Not since Anders died. Wishes can't fix the terrible thing that happened. Wishing won't change how it feels. But Lily does believe in the impossible. She has a secret so extraordinary, so magical, no one would believe that it's true. No one except Anders, of course. Nothing about this summer is turning out how Lily would have wished. But wishes, like seasons, can change.
